Across all human time periods, saying what you actually think has always been a pure demonstration of courage.

At some point, you have to let yourself be misunderstood. Trying to explain yourself to everyone all the time is just another form of procrastination.

It sounds cliche, but every unsuccessful person I know believes the world is rigged against them. Every successful person I know understands life doesn’t fight fair and decides to win anyway.

Most people don’t quit because they’re wrong.
They quit because they’re tired.

Fatigue distorts judgment.
Exhaustion narrows perspective.
What feels permanent when exhausted is often solvable when rested.

Quitting while depleted isn’t clarity it's exhaustion deciding for you.

"Passion" comes from the Latin “passio” which means "suffering" and "endurance."

So people think that following your passion means doing something you love, when it really means finding something that you are willing to suffer for.

The less control you have over your mind, the more you’ll try to control everything around you.

There is absolutely no point in trying to be liked by people who want you to be different than you are.

Make friends with people who get mad at you when they see you’re not living up to your potential.

The pain you experience is the price you pay to build the character you want.

Patience is built through delay.
Consistency is built through boredom.
Toughness is built through suffering.

It’s not punishment. It’s the only way to become the person you said you wanted to become.

[Alex Hormozi @AlexHormozi]

Self love is holding yourself to a higher standard than anyone else will—bridging the gap between the person you are and the person you want to become.

The difference between someone who makes 6 figures a year and someone who makes 6 figures a day is the amount of time they were willing to look stupid, the amount of risk they were willing to take, and the number of people they were willing to ask to get what they wanted.

The fastest way to become the person you want to be is to put yourself in a situation where you have no choice but to become them.

Success comes down to doing the obvious thing for an extraordinary period of time, without convincing yourself that you’re smarter than you think you are.

@AlexHormozi Knowing isn’t enough-results come from action. Don’t get stuck in learning mode; real progress starts when you put knowledge to work.

If you have low standards for friends, you will have many. If you have high standards for friends, you will have few.

You can’t expect to only befriend exceptional people and then be surprised when there are not many of them.
